I think you are the only forum member who has submitted full documents in 2009 and still got the 6-12 month letter people with your timeline are getting their passports stamped with visas, does your CAIPS shows any reason that why your case is so late in finalizing? It's unbelievable with LVO that they are so slowsibbi said:I sent full documents on 16.11.2009, its 33 months gone but still waiting. I think it would take another 18 months to complete the process because as per next BFD case processing would resume on 30.4.2013 and take reasonable time to complete. So average processing does not matter.
